Good morning WD. :)
 
Morning WD. So...........you gonna leave us for the FB now ??
 
I found out last night that my daughter and her family went to a local festival over the weekend. While there, one of my grandsons and his friends noticed a guy taking videos and pics of them. They used their phones to call the police. The cops erased all the stuff from they guys phone and then promptly ushered him off the property.
 
WD,

Well here's a real life situation courtesy of FB, like you I was getting friend requests from friends of friends. Case in point I had a detecting buddy in South Africa and I was getting friend recommendations from his buddies I'm sure they are nice people but I don't have any connection with them.

In any event it's a bit of a hassle but I dug down deep in my account and managed to turn off the notifications.....it asked me are you sure because you might miss some friend notifications...lol. Fact is the friend notifications are not generated by these people it's FB that auto generate this stuff.
So they can suck more info from their members for marketing purposes and ultimately more profit. So just keep in mind the FB members are their product meaning you and me....lol.

Regards + HH

Bill


Oh, I didn't hide my gender. I made everything else as private as I could. Apparently that ain't much. My husbands Aunt shared my pic. I'm getting friend requests from my step-mother-in-laws friends, etc. Best thing I've seen on there is a giant sized pack of Twizzlers. Now that's a treasure!! Yum!

I met a friend today and the subject came up and she said," You're going to hate it." I told her I already do. And she knows I've been doing a couple forum sites.

To me it's like putting down the answer to a math problem without showing your work. Drives me nuts.

Oh well, at least I'll get to see pics of my grandkids that only live 15 minutes away, but I hardly ever get to see them. :sadsmiley:
 
By by Manhattan !! Up the hudson we go.

Across the river from West Point you'll see an island (just downstream from Cold Spring) where Fort Constitution & Magazine Point are. Grab your MD,Put on some camo, jump ship and hunt it .Use to be able to hunt it ...now its just another Federal owned park :( Bet ya there is still a LOT of GOOD stuff just waiting to be found.

Also, at the mouth of the Rondout creek in Kingston NY you'll see a lighthouse in the middle of the Hudson.Don't know now.But it was abandoned forever.Bet there is some good stuff just waiting to be found.

I so wish I could do that. I will be back in july to treasure hunt and bottle dig in Gilbertsville NY. I will eat sleep and dig every minute I can !! I was amazed last night at the amount of history I was crunching under my feet. So much is locked in the ground here. Definitely some of the best digging in the us here.
 
You know anything about kingston RTR ill be there early, so ill have time to hunt. Using google earth now to look around. I know that the bottling is great in kingston. It will be tough to get on anything in the time I have though.

In the Roudout creek ,where you dock your boat,there is a LOT of OLD abandoned buildings & land along the creek.Some of the buildings probably date back to the 1800s
Just before you get here (on the creek) https://www.kingstoncitymarina.com/

Bart.If you had a smaller boat you could go up the creek a couple miles(passed the marina) to the waterfalls/Dam at Eddyville .That is the end of the road for migrating striped bass to spawn.Caught a lot of nice ones at the waterfalls.

Gilbertsville ? Wow, thats in the boonies ! Been to Cooperstown a couple times .not far from there.
 
RTR just wanted to say thanks for all the info. That last tip on kingston sounds promising !! That helps for making a game plan.
 
photo-956.webp thats lady liberty directly offshore from my secert dig spot. Ellis island is even closer. Heres what it looks like on the beach. Many condoms, tampons, and drug baggies amongst other trash. Glass and artifacts bubble from the earth here.photo-958.webp this is original unfilled coastline in the harbor, hard to find these spots without google earth. Ive been hitting this spot on and off for many years when im moored at this marina. Its a good spot !!photo-957.webp the beach is solid rubble and artifacts. Sifting would be much more effective than the metal detecting !!

Lots of history along that little creek.At one time Kingston was the capital for NY state. That area has had a hard time .It was depressed long before the recession.
Do you have a smaller boat with you ?
